Perfect for anyone who struggles to understand Shakespeare... hilarious and informative, they really bring Shakespeare to life * Reality's a Bore *
What finer way to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death than a series of witty modern reworkings...Shakespeare reduced to 100 pages of pithy pentameter with smart side notes. * Evening Standard *
Witty, fresh takes on Shakespeare * The Times *
Hilarious - and all the better for those of us who know our Shakespeare back to front * Harriet Walter *
Shrewd interpretations of the Bard; funny footnotes too. * Hugh Bonneville *
